After Action Report

The Bobcats snuck past the Rockets 101-98. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bobcats. Bobcats' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Bobcats. The Bobcats bench chemistry carried them. Bobcats' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bobcats · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
